You should probably upgrade to the latest one on ftp.debian.org. I
think Corel fixed a few bugs. Also, some of the header files in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/include make more sense. I made egcs, which is
available on my ftp site, but I haven't tested it much yet.

There is a sudo package available. Maybe fakeroot will build now that
we have an ld.so built from the glibc package (if you grab the glibc
off my ftp site).
Something like this should work for packages where you only want to
build the arch-dependent binaries:
dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo -B -mjim@jimpick.com
(use your own email address, of course)
